Default my ebay coilovers

it works pretty good 1 month of driving and no problem, yeah i'm ghetto i know. i wonder if i'm crazy but it works fully adjustable for 40$. i was thinking of getting higher spring rates from ground control. but as how it is it does not bounce or anything.

Just look up coilovers or universal coilovers. They're there... I just dont trust them the springs are probably fine, its just the sleeves that scare me. I bought some for my other car just to see if it were worth it, but never installed them.

Dude man, no way in hell I would trust that thing lol. If you see the pic, with the suspension at full down travel the spring is just floating! If you ever hit a bump or whatever too fast, you might jam the spring in the wrong place and possibly pop it out! I wouldn't trust it on my own cars, but what others do is their own choice. Eh, up to you man it's your car lol.

i can lower and raise it does not shake its actually rides pretty smooth on stock wheels, ohh well got the car for 3500, i was just expermenting so i'm not telling you to do this or anything, ohh well i daily drive both my 500hp integra and my lex. i shattered my greddy lip cheap *** abs polyurethane. i did hit a couple of potholes and it hit like any other honda coilover system with a clank sound. and the spring is not floating it actually sits perfectly with the middle ot the shock brace. "I'm not telling you guys to do this" its just what ive done untill i get my tax return ,shoot i might not even buy better coilovers
